Easy Broccoli and Ham Quiche

Ingredients

• 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion, minced
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 cups diced cooked ham
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup milk
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Press the pie crust ito a 9-inch pie plate; set aside.

Place broccoli in a glass bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Cook broccoli in microwave in 1-minute intervals until evenly heated through, about 5 minutes total; set aside.

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in melted butter until slightly translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir ham and broccoli into the onion mixture and transfer to the pie crust.

Beat Cheddar cheese, milk, eggs, and black pepper together in a bowl; pour over the ham mixture. Sprinkle paprika over the entire quiche.

Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of the quiche comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes.
